A photography exhibit titled "Wanted: Dead or Alive" will open at the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum in Pawnee, Oklahoma. The exhibit, which runs from February 1 to April 27, showcases mugshots, crime scene locations, and group photos featuring criminals and law enforcement officers. These images are sourced from the FBI, University of Oklahoma Western History Collections, National Archives, and the Oklahoma Historical Society.

Visitors will see familiar names such as the Doolin and Dalton Gangs and learn about lesser-known figures like the Tulsa Central Park Gang and Wanda Bartram. Many individuals featured in the exhibit were either born in Oklahoma or moved there before beginning their criminal activities.

The museum is located at 1141 Pawnee Bill Rd., Pawnee. For more information regarding visiting hours and admission prices, visitors can contact the ranch at 918-762-2513 or visit PawneeBillRanch.org.

OHS manages various museums, historic sites, research archives, exhibits educational programs across the state to chronicle Oklahoma's rich history.
